AI Summary

This bill, the Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny (REINS) Act of 2023, aims to increase accountability and transparency in the federal regulatory process. It amends Chapter 8 of Title 5 of the United States Code to require that major rules (those with an annual economic impact of $100 million or more, a significant increase in costs or prices, or significant adverse effects) must be approved by Congress through a joint resolution before they can take effect. The bill also requires federal agencies to provide Congress with detailed information about proposed rules, and grants the Comptroller General the authority to review major rules and report on the agency's compliance with procedural requirements. Additionally, the bill directs the Comptroller General to conduct a study on the number of rules currently in effect and their total estimated economic cost.
